divine forgiveness

Sacred mercy granted

Divine forgiveness is pardon granted by God for sins or transgressions.

In religious contexts, it represents the restoration of a broken relationship between human and deity: She prayed for divine forgiveness.

The concept appears across traditions—Christianity emphasizes it through grace and repentance, while other faiths have their own frameworks for receiving mercy from the sacred.
